1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The stability of proteins at higher temperatures is crucial for their functionality, which is measured by their melting temperature (Tm). The Tm is the temperature at which 50% of the protein loses its native structure and activity. Existing methods for predicting Tm have two major limitations: first, they are often trained on redundant proteins, and second, they do not allow users to design proteins with the desired Tm. To address these limitations, we developed a regression method for predicting the Tm value of proteins using 17,312 non-redundant proteins, where no two proteins are more than 40% similar. We used 80% of the data for training and testing and the remaining 20% for validation. Initially, we developed a machine learning model using standard features from protein sequences. Our best model, developed using Shannon entropy for all residues, achieved the highest Pearson correlation of 0.80 with an R
